Always remember the 9/11 Search and Rescue dogs. 

So many of them became depressed and distraught because they were trained to find live bodies, and when they kept finding remains, their handlers and other rescue workers began to hide in the wreckage so the dogs could do live finds. 

These dogs provided immeasurable help to those that were working the scene, bringing great emotional support just by being around the rescuers.

The picture with the honor guard fucking annihilated me. Actual tears.

I just want everyone to know that they put up a memorial statue for Bretagne in Texas on September 11, 2017.

That’s her owners in the picture.

Here’s a high-res picture of the photo. The inscription is amazing. What a good girl.

I don’t believe in fairytales but I believe in you and me.

Elderly people grew up in a time when everyone was generally trustworthy, so they fall for scams. When I get old, no one my age will trust anyone, so caregivers will have a hell of a time getting me to take my pills.

Playboy’s catcall flowchart.

I’m reblogging Playboy. Somebody stop me. 

[thebicker]

Even Playboy wants men to stop screaming at women on the street. When the pinnacle of female objectification is telling you you’re being a sexist pig, maybe for real you’re being a sexist pig. (I mean, women have been telling you you’re a sexist pig for catcalling for a long time, but then again, they’re *women* so their opinions don’t count. Now a magazine for men has acknowledged it so LISTEN UP.)

Even Playboy wants men to stop screaming at women on the street.  That needed to be repeated.  Even Playboy.

You have been such light to me […] And yet I am not quiet. It is to be broken. It is to be torn open. It is not to be reached and come to rest in ever. I turn against you, I break from you, I turn to you. We hurt, and are hurt, and have each other for healing. It is healing. It is never whole.

Wendell Berry, from “Marriage,” New Collected Poems (Counterpoint Press, 2012)

sometimes i forget how many times i’ve picked myself off the floor, how many times i’ve washed away smudgy makeup and put myself to bed. how many times i’ve said no to something unhealthy. said yes to something good. how many times i’ve treated myself with kindness and patience. i forget how many times i’ve tended to wounds and made peace with my own anger. if i was taking care of a body that was not my own, i’d believe i was doing everything i could. so here’s to remembering that i’m doing the best i can.

I have spent so many years trying not to be              beautiful and wanting  to be beautiful and wanted, and hating myself for being wanted.

Most days I wish I never met you because then I could sleep at night and I wouldn’t have to walk around with the knowledge there was someone like you out there.
